ACIP South Asia Operations

		ACIP South Asia Operations The core of the entire Asian Classics Input Project consists of a dedicated group of Tibetan refugees in south Asia who are accomplishing the great majority of the Project’s work: the input of tens of thousands of pages of Tibetan woodblock prints. These inspiring people continue year after year, through extremely difficult conditions in the Tibetan refugee settlements that dot the Indian subcontinent, to preserve their culture and share it with interested persons in other countries of the world. On behalf of the Project and all those who ever use our materials, we would like to acknowledge their efforts by listing some of their names here in this user manual. ACIP’s efforts began in south Asia through the faith and support provided by Sera Mey Tibetan Monastic University. Important assistance in the very beginning came from the Venerable Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, former Abbot of Sera Mey and Chief Editor of ACIP, and by the Venerable Pomra Khensur Lobsang Ngudup, also a former Abbot of the Monastery. Abbot emeritus Venerable Kongpo Khensur Jampa Donyo also gave unflagging support to the Project, as did the founding Abbot of Sera Mey in south India, the Venerable Gyalrong Khensur Ngawang Tekchok. The ACIP South Asia Field Office is now under the extraordinarily capable management of the Venerable Geshe Ngawang Rigdol, who has been with the Project since its inception. Former directors have been Geshe Thupten Phelgye, who also helped establish the St. Petersburg Catalog effort, as well as Lhundup Sherab. The following is a list of the major locations for ACIP entry centers in south Asia over the years, with just a few of the names of the key personnel at these centers.
